00:00In Tasmania, a once-in-a-generation opportunity is emerging.
00:07A chance to create something extraordinary for our state, our people, and our future.
00:14At the edge of Hobart's waterfront, a neglected site is being reimagined.
00:20For too long, Tasmania has lacked a venue that truly reflects our identity.
00:26A place where community, healthcare, commerce, sport, and culture unite.
00:32A bold solution is needed, and unlocks our full potential without overtaxing Tasmanians.
00:40MAC 2.0 is that vision.
00:44It is not just a development. It's a transformative, climate-smart urban precinct designed for Tasmania's future.
00:53The private hospital partnership is designed to address major healthcare issues
00:57currently facing Tasmanians in the areas of mental health, maternity, and accident and emergency
01:03in a manner that will reduce the burden of Tasmania's current healthcare system.
01:08Built around the principles of equity, inclusion, and environmental leadership,
01:13MAC 2.0 brings together elite sport, local business, social and affordable housing,
01:19and events together in the heart of Hobart.
01:23It reclaims underutilized land, and reimagines it as a thriving urban hub.
01:29Importantly, it's a practical, buildable plan, backed by private investments, staged to manage risk,
01:36and shaped to deliver enduring community benefit.
01:39MAC 2.0 is more than just a stadium.
01:43It's a climate-smart precinct designed around Tasmania's unique natural advantages.
01:48Powered by the state's world-leading renewable hydro network,
01:52the project is built to achieve net-zero carbon emissions while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
01:58And yes, as part of a wider vision, a multi-use sports and entertainment hub is central to our precinct,
02:06and an AFL stadium is integrated within our dynamic precinct,
02:10one that creates new value for Tasmanians across tourism, healthcare, social services, jobs, and livability.
02:18MAC 2.0 is ready to energize the community, from job creation to small business partnerships,
02:25from youth pathways in sport to cultural celebration,
02:29this project is designed for all Tasmanians.
02:33This is a public infrastructure redefined.
02:37A visionary precinct that aligns with Tasmania's values,
02:41and it is so much more than a stadium.
02:44It's a symbol of confidence, a beacon of pride, a place for everyone.
02:50The vision is clear, the benefits are tangible, and the time is now.
